Attempted Smuggling by Women.


THEY ARE CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTS TO BRIDE Gus
TONS OFFICERS.
The Treasury Department yesterday, as briefly
mentioned in THE STAR, acted upon the appIica-
lions OF Mrs. Emma II. Minangoy, Mrs. c. Kinkel-
dey and Mrs. Maycock, for the release OF
trunks and contents recently seized at the port of
New York for violation of section 2.S02 Revised
Statutes. In the case OF Mrs. MaycOck the cOIlec-
tor reported that she and Miss BrOwnwell were
passengers on the Alaska, which arrived at New
York from Liverpool On Sept 10: that upon search
passengers, laceS, silk dress goods, plush lace
quilt, lace curtains &C., where found concealed
therein, the lace curtains having been Sewed be-
tween the lining and outside OF a silk dress, the
lace guilt rolled inside OF a shawl strap, and the
other articles concealed On the owners persons.
The collector said he regarded this importation as
a willfui attempt to evade the payment of duties,
and he recommended that the goods be held for
forfeiture.
In the case Of Mrs. Minangoy, who arrived on
the La Champagne from Havre, on the Goth uIt.,
the collector reported that upon making entry OF
her baggage she declared "nOthing dutiablen
whereas upon examination her trunk was found
to contain many articles Oh duLiable value such as
Also that trimmings were baSted on old and worn
out garments, lace on very inferior skirt and
cloth on two old and WORKOUT dress Skirts The
collector added that the sister Of the applicant
also attempted to bride the selling officer. He
therefore recommended the release OF the seizure
only upon payment OF the appraised value.
The circumstances In the case OF Mrs. KfnkeI.
dey, as reported by the collector, are similar TO
those In the aforementioned case including an at
tempt TO bride the inspectreSS who examined the
baggage The collector, therefore, recommended
their release only upon, payment OF the appraised
syalue OF the goods. The Department sustained
the action OF the collector in each case, and in
structed him to act accordingly.
